Hey everyone!
I have a 1990 S-10 Blazer. The paint is peeling to the primer and from what information I have gotten off of the internet (lemonbusters etc.), this is a common problem for most GM vehicles produced from the mid '80's to 1997.
I have just become aware of a recent lawsuit (settled Dec 12, 2001 in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada) where a lady won a court case after suing GM to repair the peeling paint on her vehicle (1996 GM Corsica). Here is a link to the article:

If any of you have information in regards to either this lawsuit or what you have done to have your paint problem remedied by GM, please respond to this posting or send me an e-mail.

Cheers!!

My '89 Jimmy's roof was peeling so I shaved the roof rack and sanded the hole thing down to the bare metal, reprimed, and repainted it. The hardest part was working around the factory sun roof which I removed and cavered the hole from the inside with card board. I also removed the slidding rear glass (2 door) and replaced it with limo tinted (Factory Privacy Glass) solid side windows. It looks much sportier now!
